I?m not so good at pure watercolour so I started adding ink and became a ?line and wash? painter. I like to paint ?plein air? in the summer and work from photos in winter. I?m English, I?ve been in Ireland three and a half years, and have started painting scenes near my home in Malahide. Last year I was seriously ill, but now I?m recovering and looking forward to getting out with my paints again. I love painting quirky buildings - there?s nothing as nice as a good gable end.
